Descrição:

Curiosity is the fuel and desire to pursuit and explore new experiences. When we see something different, bizarre or interesting, our brain triggers a signal and we become intrigued- curiosity wakes up! Curiosity is with us since we are born, children are natural curious, we can give them a basket with craft supplies and their imagination comes to life. But, what happens when we are often place in a room, like an office, with no space for imagination? In this hands-on workshop we will explore the importance of following our own interest and passion and explore different perspectives to foster curiosity as a key element to convert a dream, into an idea, into a concept, into your life project. You will walk out of the session with the strategies and understanding that you can purposely seek what makes you unique. You can foster curiosity. Learning to be curious will set the difference between you and everyone else, defining your path as a life-long learner.
